I'll be your host today as the Knicks take on Allen Iverson and the Detroit Pistons!!

AI is coming back to The Garden after being dealt to Detroit.

Official JPZ17 Game Prediction:

Knicks 116 Pistons 108

It's time for this 2, 3, 4 point game bull to end, and it ends today. The Pistons will be over-confident and will not play hard enough to win. The Knicks will stop AI. AI will get grouchy and make lots of turnovers. Al Harrington will destroy Brown. Lee will be destroyed by Sheed.

nice work considering you rushed it still sick work......we need to get Harrington the ball he's been on fire lately so keep feeding him the rock and play upfront defense stopping them from getting easy shots is key for us...

we're smacking them by 22 i woulda never guessed we'd be winning by this margin, but the pistons look like their stuggling at least were capitalizing but im not giving us the win yet we've blown leads before i hope we dont do it here also...

Harrigton has 15 knocking down 3 3pointers
Chandler has 9
Duhon and Q-Rich have 16 each....Duhons been sick lately

We did win this game did'nt we....
the AI move to Detroit has the Pistons falling apart....Duhon leadership outclassed Iverson's leadership of Pistons.
I like AI....but the Pistons are lost wid out Billups.

it was a good win for the knicks.. they came to play from the beginning and played good defensively in the first half and some of the second.. Duhon is really coming around and becoming a leader this knicks team needs. if only we can play like this every night against every team we would have a shot at the playoffs

Love these threads, I'll have to watch this space more often. What a win to break the losing streak with just a 7 man rotation. Good to see RIP Hamilton is being consistent by being sent off yet again.

Duhon has been the suprise package for me this year, I honestly didn't know much about him when he was signed but he has stepped into the role nicely.
